What is the most sociable snake to keep as a pet?
I am ready to get another snake (had a burmese python in the house when I was younger and we had to give her up when she reached 12 feet) and now I want something that will max out at less than 5 feet. I like cornsnakes due to their coloration, but if anyone knows of a friendlier snake, please advise!
I don't remember asking for ethical advice...

Rosy Boa.There is no more docile snake than this.I have a Rosy Boa that was in a teacher friends class for 35 yrs.Never bit anyone.Did I mention they have long lifespans.This one which I got from him is over 45+ yrs old.
The Rosy will get no longer than 3 ft.They are easy to care for and there are many varieties with diferent varying colors.

I wouldn't say any of them are really "sociable". Tolerant might be a better word. If you like the color of corns but want something that's more relaxed when being held you might consider saving up for a ball python morph. Some can be rather pricey but balls are wonderful and the morphs available nowadays are amazing. Just my $0.02

dont get any pet
no animal deserves to live trapped and with no freedom to move and explore
how would you like it if someone locked you in your room and never let you out???
